Tianyuan City is a large city. In the former territory of the O'Brien Empire, Tianyuan City was also a type of city. Its scale is about the same as Venice in the Silver Moon Empire. Tianyuan City is important not only because it is a relatively large city.
city, and more importantly its geographical location.
The terrain of Tianyuan City is relatively high and the surrounding area is very open. It is a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Two hundred kilometers to the east of Tianyuan City is close to the border of the Chinese Empire guarded by the Phoenix Legion, while one hundred kilometers to the west is an endless stretch of land.
Warcraft Forest.
Once Tianyuan City is captured, it will be much easier for Beigong Zangfeng to use it as a basis to defend the Lion Empire's army. Because in this way, Tianyuan City can be integrated with the border guarded by the Phoenix Legion, and the two sides can echo each other and support each other. This
Is there very dangerous terrain in the middle? In this case, even if the Lane Empire sends a million troops to attack Tianyuan City again, Beigong Zangfeng and the others don't have to worry.
At noon that day, Nangong Aotian and Beigong Zangfeng led their army to five kilometers outside the north gate of Tianyuan City.
After the army settled down, Nangong Aotian and Sun Yifeng went around Tianyuan City to fully understand the terrain. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to the military tent again.
After dinner, Beigong Zangfeng and others quickly gathered in the military tent and began to discuss ways to attack Tianyuan City. At this time, there were still 300,000 enemy troops guarding Tianyuan City. Of course, they already knew that Huang Botao's army was completely exhausted.
There is no news. However, at this time, the Lion Empire has not had time to dispatch troops to support Tianyuan City. Tianyuan City’s 300,000 troops are just ordinary city defense troops, and their combat capabilities are limited. Of course, Tianyuan City’s terrain is more favorable. Under normal circumstances
As long as the supplies are sufficient, there is no problem for these 300,000 troops to defend for two or three months. After all, Beigong Zangfeng only has nearly 500,000 people at this time.
"Duke Nangong, how do you think we can attack Tianyuan City? I don't have a good way to attack Tianyuan City. If you didn't have this suggestion, I wouldn't even want to attack Tianyuan City." Beigong Zangfeng sat on a chair beside him.
He looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Haha, don't say such depressing words yet." Nangong Aotian smiled slightly and said: "Now we have nearly half a million troops, and the combat capabilities of the mercenary group and the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers you have are better than those defending Tianyuan City.
Those soldiers are too strong, it is not impossible to capture Tianyuan City."
"But our soldiers cannot afford to lose." Beigong Zangfeng frowned and said.
"Don't worry, I already have a way to capture Tianyuan City." Nangong Aotian said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I wonder if Duke Nangong has any good ideas?" Bei Gong Zangfeng and the others immediately looked towards Nangong Aotian after hearing what Nangong Aotian said.
"We will rest here for fifteen days first, and after fifteen days we will attack Tianyuan City." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "In these fifteen days, we need to make some preparations."
"What preparations?" Beigong Zangfeng looked at Nangong Aotian and asked doubtfully.
"The enemy archers fired arrows at us from the top of the city. Their attack distance should be between 500 and 600 meters, right?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Almost, more than five hundred meters." Beigong Zangfeng thought for a moment and said, "Beyond this distance, the bow and arrow will lose its power."
"The height of the Tianyuan City wall should be more than thirty meters, right?" Nangong Aotian continued.
"Thirty meters. Because of the terrain, the height of their city wall is not high." Beigong Zangfeng thought for a while and said.
"That's good." Nangong Aotian smiled slightly and said, "Now I want you to build something, which is about five hundred meters away from the north wall of Tianyuan City."
"What to build?" Beigong Zangfeng asked doubtfully.
"Wooden platform." Nangong Aotian said.
"Wooden platform? What is it for?" Bei Gong Zangfeng looked at Nangong Aotian in confusion.
"Don't ask so many questions first. This wooden platform must be strong and must be more than 20 meters high. Build such a platform every 30 meters." Nangong Aotian said and took out a simple drawing.
Handed it to Beigong Zangfeng.
"It is not very difficult to build this platform, but what is the use of such a high platform at this time?" Beigong Zangfeng said, looking at the simple drawing in his hand in confusion.
"You will know then. What you have to do now is to build these high platforms as soon as possible. One hundred high platforms should be built." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Okay, let's get ready now." Beigong Zangfeng nodded quickly and said.
It took a full fifteen days, and with the efforts of the entire army, the high platform requested by Nangong Aotian was finally built. Next, Nangong Aotian used his space ring to place a thousand crossbows on the high platform. Each time
There are six crossbows on each high platform, a total of 600 crossbows. Of course, the crossbows are not displayed at this time, they are all placed on the high platform and covered with thick straw curtains.
After finally completing the preparations, this morning, Nangong Aotian finally raised his troops.
"Duke Nangong, I know what you are thinking. Do you want to use your crossbows to attack the soldiers on the enemy's city wall, and then we take the opportunity to attack the city?" Beigong Zangfeng said sitting on a chair next to the military tent.
.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "The soldiers who are far away from the enemy's city cannot attack our soldiers on the high platform."
"But is the attack range of your crossbow so far? You know, the height of our high platform is more than ten meters lower than the top of Tianyuan City?" Beigong Zangfeng said with some worry.
"But my crossbow can attack more than one thousand meters at a horizontal distance, and can even reach a distance of one thousand two hundred meters." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "It is more than double that of ordinary bows and arrows."
"Really?" Beigong Zangfeng looked at Nangong Aotian in surprise.
"Yes, when the time comes, the soldiers at the top of the city will have my crossbows to deal with them." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "Once the defenders at the top of the city lose their effectiveness, I think it will be much easier to capture the city, right?
"
"In this case, I have no doubts anymore. You can give the order." Beigong Zangfeng said quickly.
"Okay, now I will arrange the attack mission when I come." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "Commander of the Beigong Hidden Front Army."
